An Amazing Way to Get Fit at the Airport (and Make It To Your Flight on Time!)

Let's say you've got a couple of hours to kill in between flights, and you could use a little exercise--you know, just to stretch your legs and get that heart rate up. Or maybe you have zero hours to kill because your connecting flight was late--and you have to somehow get to the other side of the airport in about five minutes. Hey, this incredible invention could be the answer to both scenarios!

Check out Micro Luggage: the suitcase that's also a scooter. It has two luggage compartments, a computer compartment, and places for business cards and folders--but the real draw is the scooter itself, which folds up easily into the suitcase so that you can stash it in the overhead compartment.

Micro Luggage is the brainchild of a Swiss designer who's known for producing scooters that have oversized wheels and an exceptionally smooth ride. And if the video above is anything to go by, the luggage really is smooth: it shows a woman scooting through the airport while very casually holding a cup of coffee (she makes it look easy-breezy but I'm pretty sure it would spell disaster for me, personally--not to mention fellow passengers).
